Tonight is the series premiere of Andrew Zimmern’s Driven by Food on Travel Channel at 9/8c. Three-time James Beard Award-winning TV personality, chef, food writer and culinary explorer Andrew Zimmern believes the best way to explore a city is to get to know the locals, and the first local he usually meets is his cab driver. Hosted and executive produced by Zimmern, the new series turns to neighborhood drivers to set the itinerary. Never staying in the backseat for long, Zimmern and his new guide — whether it’s a cab driver in the South, a shikara driver in Kashmir or a gondolier in Venice — take viewers on an entertaining behind-the-scenes, insider’s adventure to check out off-the-grid dives, regional eats and local activities.

Tonight is the series premiere of My Last Days on The CW at 9/8c. Created and hosted by Jane the Virgin star Justin Baldoni, this is an uplifting documentary series that tells the compelling stories of real-life superheroes facing terminal illness, who remind us that having a limited amount of time doesn’t mean we can’t make a positive impact on the world.
 
Tonight is also the series premiere of Unlocking the Truth on MTV at 11/10c. Love, lust, murder, mystery, suspense…all the makings of a great dramatic story. The catch? It’s not a fictional story. It’s real life. This serialized documentary series follows the journey of alleged wrongfully convicted prisoners fighting for their freedom. We will navigate these cases in an effort to uncover the truth with the highest possible stakes – the lives and freedom of innocent people locked up for life, and the duty to honor the lives of those lost. This series takes an in-depth look into three criminal cases through the unique POV of Ryan Ferguson, who at 19 years old was convicted of a murder he didn’t commit.
